Presstek to showcase 34DI digital offset press at open days

Presstek Europe will outline the benefits of digital offset technology and show printers how they can expand the short-run arm of their business by showcasing the 34DI press at a series of open days starting this month.

The kit manufacturer will be demonstrating its four-colour 34DI SRA3 waterless press and chemistry-free CtP systems, including the Vector TX52 B3 system at the Bristol and Haydock events.

The 34DI can output at speeds ranging from 1,500sph-7,500sph and print on a maximum sheet size of 340x460mm.

Presstek Europe UK national sales manager Peter Swann told printweek.com the firm wants to give visitors an understanding of how digital offset offers are "the missing link" between short and long-run.

"It is ideal for the digital printer or a litho printer wanting to move into shorter run work."

He added: "The 34DI is an efficient offset press that is also environmentally-friendly, which runs without alcohol and only uses water to cool the machine internally."

The open days will also include demonstrations of the recently announced Momentum Pro PDF workflow and the iWay web to print package.

Presstek is running the open days in conjunction with Duplo, who will be demonstrating a range of print finishing equipment, including the System 5000 Bookletmaker.

The open days will take place at the Memorial Stadium, Bristol on 29, 30 and 1 May and at Haydock Park Race Course, Newton Le Willows, on 7, 8 and 9 May.
